The sad truth is that the holidays are an insane, crazed time of year, regardless of what you have going on. It’s true that I have a LOT going on right now and I really can’t wait for the holiday craze to be over. But my guess is that YOU have a lot going on too.

And even though we’re both in big trouble for gift giving, the good news is that it’s not too late to knit up a quick gift or to give the gift of knitting patterns to your super cool and fabulously good looking knitting friends (because knitters are – simply – fabulously good looking).

In fact, I have a few recommendations from the Phydeaux archives, starting with the first photo at the top of this post:

Each of these patterns link straight to Ravelry for quick downloading, if you choose to order. I didn’t link to my own site, because … (I’m building a new site that will launch in January, shhh!)

If I don’t talk with you before Christmas, HAPPY holidays!!! You mean the world to me – I so appreciate your visits and support! This has been an interesting and challenging year, to say the least, but so special thanks to you and others. Thank you with a big holiday hug!
